the driver error sounds like an issue with the vmlinuz/initrd.img you 
are using.  do these kernels find the divers for your NIC's when booting 
w/o cobbler (like booting from CD and loading your kickstart from a USB 
keychain for example)?  if your kickstart is setup to do a network 
install (NFS for example) you'll know very quickly if your kernel + 
initrd has the correct drivers ;)
